Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2015063464A1] A method for the inspection of contained flowable materials within containers, such as detecting an explosive liquid in a luggage, and an apparatus for performing the method are described. The method includes the steps of: - performing a radiation scan, using X-rays or Gamma rays, of a target item container of contained flowable material in a radiation scanning system to derive a spatially distributed and spectroscopically resolved measured dataset of the intensity of radiation emergent from the target item; - considering the spatially distributed and spectroscopically resolved dataset of transmitted radiation intensity to be nominally determined in accordance with a relationship: [Ο] • [δ] = [λ] where the operators [δ] and [λ] definie, respectively, physical parameters describing the liquid and the container and the system response and the operator [Ο] defines the relationships between the system response and the liquid and container parameters; - numerically processing the measured dataset by operator inversion in order to derive a best fit solution of: [δ] = [Ο]- 1 • [λ]; and - using that derived solution to determine the threat status of the target item.
